Nepal government on Friday has cancelled the proposed India visit of President Biddya Bhandari.

Government has taken such decision citing insufficient time for preparation .Sources said that the government reached at the decision after Prime Minister KP Oli's suggestion.

At the beginning her visit was said to be a religious one but later it was scheduled as official visit as her meeting with Indian Counterpart, PM Modi and foreign minister Sushma Swaraj was arranged.

According to law, any intra or outside the nation visit by President must be verified by the cabinet which didn't take place on Friday's meeting. Spokesperson at Foreign Ministry confirmed that President's Visit to India has been canceled due to various political confrontation between India and Nepal in recent days.

It further said that the cabinet reached into conclusion that this is not the appropriate time to visit India by our President as the two nation's relationship has deteriorated in recent days.

KP Oli and the ruling coalition has been fighting hard with India since last September after India tried to interfere into Nepal's Constitution and they even imposed 6 months long trade embargo on Nepal.
